CHICAGO, ILL, March 3l.-sholtly
after the opening OF 'Chsngs this morn.
ing, there WAS scramble to buy
whGat. The very ainty con.
nected with the movements OF the
commodity appeared to stimulate the
bullish feeling which has been p eva
lent for week past. The May futures
advanced rapidly to S33c. The sd-
vance was accompanied by some fever
ishness and stopped at the point
named. For an hour or 30, reactions
Of s@3c were quickly regsined. Late
there WAS short period of dullness
and the price dropped nearly lc. A
second period of activity resulted in a
recovery OF this loss and an advance to
$3.50, which WAS ths highest point OF
the day. During the last hat hour,
frae offerings induced reaction to
S2s,. The close, however, was firm at
$500. The strength OF the day was
partly due 10 receipts being nearly
100000 bushels less than yesterday,
twelve points showing q total If $780,
000 bushels. O5rn was compare
lively steady, ranging 40s9408C
